Rain Delays England Victory Bid in Second Test Against Pakistan
Rain delayed the start of the third day of the second Test at Lord's on Saturday, August 29, 2026, with England holding a commanding 261-run lead at 81-3 against Pakistan.
England entered the third day firmly in control after dismissing Pakistan for 110 on Friday, with seamer Ollie Robinson taking 4-11 in 13 overs to dismantle the Pakistan lineup.
Under-Pressure opener Emilio Gay will resume on 30 not out alongside Harry Brook, unbeaten on seven, after the pair steadied England's second innings following early dismissals.
Pakistan faces a significant challenge to keep England from clinching the series, having never scored more than 234 in the fourth innings of any Test against England in England.
With more rain forecast for northwest London, further interruptions could complicate England's victory bid, though the hosts seek to clinch the series after winning at Headingley last week.
